where just about at the halfway point through the world cup soccer tournament in russia now while the various nations battle it out on the siren page we've been checking out what's going on on the sidelines such as with the fans and the soccer paraphernalia but today we want to take a closer look at the hosts from st petersburg to moscow russians have been preparing for this moment for years so how are they fairing as host of one of the world's biggest sporting events here's a closer look. russia has gone on now to host this year's soccer world cup. the russians hope to score with their diversity beauty splendor and rich culture we welcome fans to the eleven host cities with elegant stadiums and fireworks a clever move. that brings them forward

so i. russians are proud of their traditions showing absolutely everything russian folklore has. the offer visually and acoustically. setting the tone are. you know shades wooden spoons rattled to produce sounds that drive the soccer fans to distraction. the russians take their folklore seriously. even the security personnel wear traditional costumes. they may look relatively harmless but appearances to see there are a tough bunch if necessary. this wins them only three balls i . russia is in a soccer frenzy they're playing everywhere on sports grounds on

suspect. anton call by name has shocked some of the most iconic pictures in modern rock history. i'm always admired of people who make. i think the work that i like i think wow are somebody to do that and i would love to. meet this person and cameras are a great excuse to meet somebody. called by name is the most prominent figure out how backs try i mean you know of photography it's mounted an impressive show of this talented photographers work. there are so many people here and i get a little nervous with my german and george and it's surprising that even he would be nervous. but he's photographed stars like miles davis.

shawn or pavarotti and brian eno. but how does the motivate his subjects to cooperate but i did and this he gets everything ready so you feel really safe and you end up forgetting that you're having your picture taken that's one off and that's really the best way to do it this is to stand by itself as if he's very tall you feel as if you are like a lighthouse quickly checking out the situation you know you're in good hands and as the subject you reflect the security you stand up there and feel secure for to see. that helps but it's not all much like you stop jack's and tom call by him is driven and he loves music close will be in my mid forty's i was in the bill that i was still so obsessed with music you know because as a teenage thing i always thought i was still investing my energy into the proposition so i thought it must come from where you where you're born. so he

started taking a series of photos of his home village striking him in the netherlands in the detroit stop like musicians george had the same way that i did because what i realized was that because there was nothing and if this was in both interesting to me at the time. it was music that came from across the water from outside of the island that seemed to promise a different kind of life than the life i had that i became obsessed with that if you like. my father the preacher my mother study theology my for mother's father was a preacher my mother's brother was a preacher my father sister mary the preacher and so you could say and all the friends were preaching i says this is the drive to do something is protestant and do things that have a meaning so when i look back at that i can see that's the bottom of how i look at things. studies stuff

cemeteries full of iconic imagery kolbein also shot to fame through a tragedy this became the last photo of english rock band joy division singer in curtis looks around questioningly soon after he took his own life. you know the people before you meet them through and that informs show a lot about the people you're going to photograph and if you spend time with this it was same person for longer as that's in the inhibition from there and to be photographed in all kind of situations and make up images that nobody else got so. doesn't mean you have to become friends with people but if you don't have to reintroduce yourself every single time that helps and it helps getting your certain pictures reach up in church for the.

new works were shown but today only seven percent of operas that are stage are actually new works composer and painters more it's egerton's trying to change that he composed the music for the opening ceremony of the two thousand and six world cup in germany and his goal is to get more living composers to have their work staged in today's day and age. mold that's agate pianist professor for composition and proponent of contemporary music more than a billion people heard the music he composed for the opening ceremony of the two thousand and six soccer world cup he also writes opera for children and has even said google's terms of service to music now he's analyze the opera from years in germany and the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen season and discovered that on average opera dollars could expect to hear music that's one hundred thirty nine years old. because i love to think the business has become too smug too

self-satisfied too narcissistic and it never changes and for me that's precisely the problem i can't imagine that one hundred years from now people will want to listen to operas that will be on average two hundred thirty nine years old i just can't imagine that this kind of money forced him. he says unfortunately classical music has been taken over by squares who keep repeating the same rituals and don't want any surprises anyone who applauds enthusiastically between movements earn scornful looks but it wasn't always that way of the music the heart and when these words first debuted people smoked and drank and had sex and played roulette along with the music. opera houses where the city's pleasure domes and the opera was like a side show on some stuff that had disadvantages as far as listening was concerned the subject but it also had its advantages about the hopper houses were part of the city and its social fabric on tides and that's what i'd like to return to isn't because it's all. in twenty eighteen the average opera goer in germany is sixty

years old the piece that's performed most often is mozart's done giovanni which made its debut in seventeen eighty seven. new compositions accounts for just seven percent of all premiers the way taggert sees it if something doesn't change very quickly up or his chances of survival are nil he proposes a radical remedy. a repertoire comprised of fifty percent traditional opera and fifty percent contemporary works. done been difficult economy when we really chronicled the feelings and situations of our time can we create something of value that softened us which will still be of interest in the centuries from now when we listen to music from the eighteenth century god it is it's exciting because we learn about a world that no longer exists as a god the emotions were very different the relationships between the sexes were different place for instance in a mozart opera when things happen between women and men it's very different to what occurs between women and men today. these things are in constant flux so we need to

show the present authentically often. classical music as we know it today usually means people in tuxes and evening dresses playing for people in suits and evening dresses and it's been that way since the nineteenth century but in their day composers like paid to move in and back down for revolutionary politically minded individuals who believes it could be like that again was the sea even toxic because there really are entertaining and even amusing contemporary art where this is where john adams nixon in china is a prime example the it's a wonderful piece that has something for everyone is readily understood and has a break music we simply have to give more space to the talented people who write such words other countries are much further ahead in this than in the some touching business by the. movement's agate says contemporary works can be thrilling you just

need to give them a chance. ok maybe a chance is definitely what they need and with that we come to the end of another show don't forget to check us out on social media or go to our website for more on the program for me and the rest of the crew here on max as always thanks tuning for . and we'll see again tomorrow for. more. time on your a man. broker fee eternal things to tell you have a place bursting with wealth famous odds are. no one the tourists flock here in droves but off the beaten path there are still some quiet corners there's. the secrets of rome next time on your next.
